Sakura's POV:

It was already 10 p.m. 4 hours after Chaeyeon dropped me off to my dorm. Meeting her sister earlier was a surprise I still can't get over, she even asked me to be patient with her sister. She told me that her sister's heart had been broken many times. This made me wonder how her heart got broken. I made a search for her name on Google in my laptop right now. I learned that Chaeyeon and her sister Chaeryeong joined two reality survival shows K-Pop Star 3 and Sixteen. Sixteen that created Twice, the first Girl Group to have a J-Line. Both were unfortunately eliminated. Particularly, Chaeyeon was eliminated on the first episode.

She also joined a dance crew called KYW, Park Jin Young even told Yang Hyun Suk the CEO of YG Entertainment that he will never let go of the Lee Sisters, during their stint on K-Pop Star 3. Chaeyeon was widely known in the Korean Entertainment Industry. There was also an article that a former KYW member was her alleged girlfriend who was caught cheating. Chaeryeong also created a name for herself among ITZY members, she was known for her dancing and singing skills, as much as Chaeyeon was known for her dancing and singing skills.

The article about Chaeyeon's alleged girlfriend was not named, they didn't specify who the alleged girlfriend was, it was not named in the article. Neither did it show any pictures aside from Chaeyeon's Pictures. Furthermore, her agency that time which was one of the Big Threes in Korean Entertainment, JYP released a statement that their Trainee Chaeyeon didn't have any relationships that time, much more with another woman. The company said they condone any homoual relations and dating between the trainees themselves.

It was true, I researched the training environment in Korea, typically a trainee was not allowed to have their phones, it was confiscated by the training team and they'd be allowed to use their phones for 3 hours maximum during the weekends to call their families. Apart from that, strictly no use of their private cellphones during their trainee years. This was the main reason why I decided to audition with WM Entertainment, because they don't have strict policies on phone usage and other communication devices, I thought at least my kids could call their parents everyday to help them ease their worries.

Nako and Hitomi were good kids to me, they've never left my side during the time that I experienced two betrayals from my closest friends. They are the ones who saw me at my worst and those days I wasn't eating properly, they were the ones to be there to share meals with me. They stayed with me in my apartment in Tokyo, when I decided not to come home at our dorm. Just as I was recalling my past with my two kids and ex friends, Nako and Hi-Chan entered my room.

"Kkura Okan. We can't sleep." Both kids chorused.

"Come to bed with me then." I replied to both of them and locked the screen of my laptop and placed my laptop back in the study table.

Both of my kids climbed the bed, Nako on the right and Tomi on the left. Each one encircled me in a hug. Each one of my arms are cuddling their upper backs. No matter how small or large my bed was, they'd still join me in bed.

"Sleep well children." I whispered into Tomi and Nako.

"Goodnight, Kku Okan." They both said sleepily.

These two really knows when I am thinking about Anna and Jurina, they take my mind off the two friends that betrayed my trust.

"Kku Okan, don't think about your ex friends, we're here now and we will protect you." Nako whispered sleepily.

"Thank you, I love you both." I replied to them and gave them both a kisss on top of their heads.

I slept when the two are already in deep sleep. I was staring at the ceiling until 11 p.m. I fell asleep and woke up at 4 a.m. to prepare my kids' breakfast, lunch and snacks. I was at the Kitchen, done preparing my kids' breakfast and I am now packing their snacks and lunches when both of them entered the kitchen. Both kids trapped me with a hug from each side.

"Good morning kids, have a seat now, so you both can eat breakfast." I replied to the both of them.

Their hugs didn't loosen and stayed with me for a while, I waited for both of them to sit down on the table, all the while preparing their lunches. They squeezed me tighter eventually and let go immediately.

"Yes, Kku Okan. We're going to sit now." Both of them chorused.

I plated their breakfast of Chicken Karaage, Vegetable Omelette, Shirataki Fried Rice. For Lunch, I prepared us some Chicken Teriyaki, Shirataki Rice and Hijiki Carrot Salad. For snacks, I prepared us some Baechu Ssam, a korean dish which is a Cabbage Leaf wrap, the wrap included some grilled pork meat, julliened carrots and julliened cucumbers. I paired this with a side of two octopus weenies and a dipping sauce I made from combining Gochugaru, Saue Jeot (Salted Shrimp), Sesame Oil and Seeds, Granulated Sugar, Minced Garlic and a small sprig of chopped scallions.

We needed to incorporate some Korean dishes in our diets to get used to the Korean Culture, I've been looking up some Korean Recipes to make for their lunches and snacks. It's only Wednesday and our supplies was already mostly depleted. My kids eat deliciously, Nako and Tomi would get two times more than I can eat and I don't complain, since I had more money than they do. Besides that, my parents raised me to be kind to people younger than me, to always take care of my little brother and my little sisters at AKB48 and HKT48. I was always the giving one out of all the AKB48, HKT48 and KIV members.

I mentioned that all senior members have gone out with our main producer Mr. Akimoto Yasushi, this also meant that we were given $1,000 dollars as an allowance, this was deposited to our bank accounts whenever we went out. I had a separate bank account for the allowances he gave me, apart from my earnings as an AKB48, HKT48 and KIV member. Apart from the allowances account, I also have a daily expenses account where I could withdraw money from my main account. Every month cycle, the main account deposits money to the daily expenses account. I also invested in Crypto Currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. My parents are still working, so all of my money I earned from being an AKB48 member is all mine.

My net worth on the news is an estimated $1.5 Million, but of course my net worth is more than the news tells people. I have an estimated net worth of 10 Million Dollars in Assets and Money in the bank. No one knew that my investments in Cryptocurrencies and Stocks were already amounting to 8.5 Million more than the estimated net worth in the news. I also live below my means, often cooking at home and refusing to order out, save for the times when the two kids and I will celebrate something, for example them completing their exams in school with flying colors or if they have been promoted or got a lot of votes in the annual senbatsu, to determine who represents the whole of Group 48, ranging from releasing songs, to commercials up until social media representative, fans and the producers of the 48 Groups will vote on who gets to be in the 48 Groups.

Jurina, Anna and I are always on the top 3 of these annual senbatsus. All three of us used to be happy, until a line was crossed, I remember my best friend Anna telling me to trust Jurina and almost convincing me to give Jurina more than I could. These were my thoughts and I was again interrupted by Nako.

"Kkura Okan?" Nako said.

I snapped out of my reverie and paid attention to Nako.

"What? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." I replied to Nako.

"I said we wanted to have dinner with Min-ju, Hyewon and Yuri later, we wanted to know if you'll be okay by yourself or do you and Chaeyeon wanted to go with us?"

"I don't know, let me ask her." I replied to Nako.

Hi-chan and Nako-chan watched as I sent a text message to Chaeyeon, I asked her if she wanted to have dinner with the rest of the team later. I put my phone down and saw that Nako and Hitomi was shocked that I have Chaeyeon's number.

"What? You two, stop looking at your Okan like that." I admonished both kids.

"So we see you've exchanged numbers with Min-ju's Oton." Tomi replied and smirked at me.

"Of course we exchanged numbers, I don't see anything wrong with that. She's our team leader, I am part of her team, she's also teaching me Korean language. What are you trying to imply Tomi?" I asked her, my right brow raised at her.
